Hi, I'm Daniel, a Brazilian User Experience and Product Designer living in Toronto with background in illustration and graphic design.
I’m passionate about solving real problems for people in visually compelling ways. I believe that crafting a solid user experience is essential to any web product. By research, testing, ideation and most importantly empathy, I aim to create efficient and powerful meaningful experiences.
When I'm not designing, you can find me playing board games with friends or simply out in the nature hiking and exploring the world.
